THE ULTIMATE SHORT SQUEEZE

hopon

Short Sellers Trapped on Egregious Bus, Nov. 5th, 2009

They unravel the “dollar carry trade,” in order to lure you into the burning bus. Once in the bus, you are looking around, like “WTF.” Then, it hits you: “holy crap, this bus is on fire.” In a panic, you run towards the front of the bus, in an effort to escape; but it’s too late. By now, this guy is driving it and there is no way—other than death— to get out.

The market is embracing “King Dollar,” as if it meant nothing. Hell, just yesterday it meant everything. This is an important lesson for you trend followers: they are made to be broken. They work until they don’t; you’re rich until you “Nick Cage” yourself into bankrutpcy court.

Stocks are roaring higher, thanks to all of the fodder on the short side. They ignite share prices to the upside, better than any positive earnings report or economic statistic. Look you, I told you before and you chose not to believe me: “The Fly” never loses, ever. My competition, although interesting in a retard in the swimming pool sort of way, are not in the same league as me. I hear voices, ladies and gentlemen. I see shadows, near my favorite urinal— and they chain-smoke cigarettes. To hell in a hand basket, I am a friggin’ lunatic and should be caged for proper and thorough examination.

Luckily for you, I am still free to walk around, without the luxuries of sleeveless dinner jackets. Enjoy it while you can pal; I offer no promises.

In closing, I didn’t win because I am smarter than you; which I am—but that’s besides the point. I won because I blog from the future, all thanks and praise to my plutonium powered time machine.

Fly Fun Facts: Today is both Grandpa Fly’s birthday, rest his soul, and my anniversary—bless mine. In other words, today’s melt up was a gift from the stock Gods to me.

One More Thing Before I Go Update: Remember this chart from last week, via The PPT?

      I have you saying in the comments section, back in March, that you will not cover shorts until Dow 5,000, when the Dow was at 6,500.

      In other words: STFU

      Technically we are at the top of CA’s bear flag so it should be a profitable short tomorrow…assuming the pattern holds of course.

        just because I am a perma bear does not mean that I don’t go long certain names at times. when I see the opportunity i hit it. But on the economy as a whole, I will remain bearish until the truth prevails and the people realize that they are being screwed by the crooks and they revolt. will it happen in my life time?? I hope so. Nothing has been fixed, the same shell game is being played by the same hucksters. Wake up America!!

        Al Gore is a bore and a phony. He is making tens of miilions off this “carbon tax” scam. It isabout power and money, not the environment. The sun spot activity correlates with global warming and cooling periods and the CO2 appears after a warming period. A cooling cycle may be under way now. These same fools will try to work an “ice age” scam as soon as it is clear that they have been wrong on the warming.

          The world isn’t always as simple as hollywood likes to spin it. I don’t view energy policy as an Al Gore issue. It’s economically a poor choice to continue to repress the expansion of more intelligent forms of energy production by forcing everyone to use their limited existing systems that burn oil, gas, and fossil fuels for the bulk of our energy production and use. Our system is just already set up to maximize it. It’s better to even out the mix with more brilliant technologies available. The carbon burning will always be part of the mix, but for it to dominate the energy spectrum is wasteful, cost prohibitive, dirty, moronic, threatens our very national security, and will just cause too many young men to die on the battlefield long term.

          The compact that existed previously between NATO nations to ensure western civilization had an economically stable energy policy and rationale mix was broken in the mid nineties and has had a significant negative effect on economic stability of the United States. Our answers on these questions were already calculated in the 50’s by the department of energy, but unfortunately we were hoodwinked into straying from an intelligent path of energy independence. The straying from the intelligent path was all about – you guessed it – corruption.

          There’s much more to the story than a lot of people think. The environmental concerns are significant for all the technologies. That is a fact of life. The system may need a little leadership, direction, and the permission to start thinking in terms of more intelligent uses of our resources. This is all part of our awakening and the bright future that our nation has.

            Yeah yeah yeah – tell it to your leader, Obama. North America has enough oil/NG to be energy sufficient. Free private enterprise to driil driil drill – that’s an energy policy. FTK Al and Obama.

    Al Gore is a little bitch. His VC firm is a joke. They wouldn’t even review the business plan I sent in, for an experienced firm that has patented technology capable of converting toxic bio-waste into clean burning hydrogen fuel, efficiently and profitably, on a small enough scale for the average farmer. Fucker had a chance to help prevent methane from being released into the air, with payback in only 3 years. PR stunting asshat.

    Anybody out there know any real CleanTech investors with access to $15M? Please email me @ jcamden20 at gmail dot com. Would really appreciate your help….
